About Ceri
Ceri Westcott is a counsellor with nine years of experience who draws on acceptance, attachment and mindfulness approaches. She helps people reflect on their situation and build self-compassion so they can make choices that match their values. Ceri describes a calm, practical style and adapts to what each person needs in the room.
She often supports people facing stress, anxiety and relationship worries, and has a particular interest in parenting matters.
Background and approach
Ceri also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, career decisions and big life changes. Her additional focus includes caregiver stress, fatherhood questions, postpartum difficulties and other concerns connected to family life. Ceri uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those goals.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Mindfulness exercises and client-centred conversations are offered when they suit the person and the moment. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Ceri often uses imagery and short mindfulness practices, but lets each person choose what feels helpful. She encourages simple experiments between sessions so clients can test new ways of coping in everyday life. She holds BACP status, works in the United Kingdom, and provides support in English.
Ceri invites people to bring their real-life problems and practical questions, then works with them to find manageable ways forward.

How ACT, attachment work and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most and take small, values-based actions. Online ACT sessions often focus on noticing thoughts and experimenting with practical steps between meetings to build a different daily routine.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current responses. In remote sessions this can mean talking through relational templates, practising new ways of relating, and trying short exercises that test different responses in real life.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces brief attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These practices are easy to try during a video call or as short audio exercises sent after a session.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit your goals and preferences. That might mean mixing ACT, attachment ideas and mindfulness, or leaning more on one approach depending on how things feel in practice.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.
